They called her Water Claire. When she washed up on their shore, no one knew that she came from a society where emotions and colors didn't exist. That she had become a Vessel at age 13. That she had carried a Product at age 14. That it had been stolen from her body. Claire had a son. But what became of him she never knew. She was supposed to forget him, but that was impossible, and now she will stop at nothing to find her child, even if it means an unimaginable sacrifice. Following Messenger after a wait of eight years—and coming almost 20 years after The Giver won the 1993 Newbery Medal—Son is the final book in the Giver Quartet, Lois Lowry's unique dystopian saga for young adults.
